About me

authorpic_edited.jpg

I'm an Indian-Japanese* author living in Tokyo with my husband Shotaro, our newborn, and our fiery-spirited dog Fëanor. 

After two decades of immersing myself in various fictional worlds (some favorites being displayed on my bookshelf) I decided it was time I attempted creating one of my own.

Outside writing, I work for a pharmaceutical company, with a focus on digitalization of Japanese healthcare.

*By this I mean indokei nihonjin (インド系日本人) which is a phrase used to describe Japanese nationals of Indian ethnicity; I was actually born in Mumbai and lived there a third of my life; as well as spending several years in US and UK.

About my book

IMG_5384.png

SPIN OF FATE is a 3-POV YA high fantasy,  and the first installment of THE FIFTH REALM trilogy. It is my debut novel.

It features an original mythology, unique magical beasts, epic battles, a hard magic system that draws loosely from Indian philosophy... and lots of moral ambiguity.

More detailed marketing can be found on my blog for those interested.

You can pre-order SPIN OF FATE hardcopies here and audiobook here.

Or through this limited time 50% off campaign.

Jacket art by Sidharth Chaturvedi. Design by Jessica Jenkins and Tony Sahara. Audiobook narrated by Simon Vance.
